In MacWord 2004, there was a bug (now fixed) that caused this effect if
hidden text was set to print. I've not heard of that bug in WinWord, but
it's worth checking. So also make sure, in Tools | Options | Print and
View, that "hidden text" is unchecked.

But last time someone complained about it, turned out there was
surviving markup, it wasn't the bug. As Suzanne says, Word 2000 doesn't
offer the "comments/markup in margins" feature, so would never show this
problem.
